Bring in a standard sniper, give him/her squad lead so he can select the attack order after spotting the thale. Change back to assault etc and pass back the squad lead and when you have the WP drop an OB on him.
Alternatives are after the target is lit FG Snipe or Rail Gun or finally counter the thale with another one. |

I spent a couple of months running around as a sniper, got bored of Logi-ing all the time, and I was waiting until my assault fit was ready, to learn where some of the interesting places to snipe are. I can find them, at least some of the time, but half the time they are in crevices etc where you can not get line of sight.
However, when it comes to finding them put on a sniper fit, even the free one, go to their redline but off to the side and just move the sniper rifle around and they will just suddenly pop up, so long as you remember their name to make sure you have the right guy.
I have "spotted" thale users even when they are behind hills. It is almost like the sniper rifle has its own very long range scanner.
Hope this helps. |

If you have enough dampers and skills you will not show up. I do not even have a chevron. I have walked into the enemy camp and walked beside people in my assault suit and they did not notice. The only time they realize who I am is when they aim at me to see I am red and not a friendly blue.
Very true but truly dedicated snipers are still pretty rare even among those who have the Sp invested to use a Thales. Ultimately the best way to counter a thale user is to learn the best places to snipe and then locate the specific location of that particular sniper. |

With enough time behind the scope you will start to catch something different as you check out likely spots. Of course, terrain and weather have a lot to do with visibility. It is a lot easier to spot snipers if you've run one for a while.
You to huh? To me they look like a shadow on a wall but I know they are behind cover. I can even see them moving and when they do I just wait for part of their head to stick out and bam. |
